31. New England Patriots, Jon Baldwin, WR Pittsburgh

Why Baldwin is Special: Jon Baldwin is more than just his numbers, which are great in their own right. His size makes him a threat to catch anything thrown his way. He can be a little streaky, but poor quarterback play at Pitt this year has lead to that.

Why Baldwin Goes Here: With quite a few teams targeting wide receivers in this draft, don't be surprised to see Baldwin go earlier, or he could go lower depending on how he does in pre-draft workouts.

Why Baldwin Fits: New England traded away their big play threat in Randy Moss, and they have a need for a big body at receiver.

28. Baltimore Ravens, Rahim Moore, S UCLA

Why Moore is Special: Rahim Moore is a ballhawk, pure and simple. Any deep ball has as good a chance of being caught by Moore as any offensive player. That mentality led to Moore leading the NCAA with 10 interceptions last year as a sophomore.

Why Moore Goes Here: Safety is a shallow position in this draft, compared to last year. Expect Moore to be the first safety taken, whoever decides to take him. That is, if he forgoes his senior year at UCLA.

Why Moore Fits: Rahim Moore models his game after Ed Reed. With Reed's career winding down, Moore would be a perfect fit to take over for the Hall of Famer when he decides to hang it up.

21. New York Giants, Drake Nevis, DT LSU

Why Nevis is Special: Nevis is a defensive tackle that can help stop the run or rush the passer. He plays with great leverage and strength.

Why Nevis Goes Here: Nevis is another elite defensive lineman in a draft full of them, but his explosiveness keeps him in the first round.

Why Nevis Fits: Shocker, the Giants taking a defensive linemen. However, Nevis is a big enough body to help more with the run and he will occupy blockers and help the other defensive athletes get to opposing quarterbacks.

19. Miami Dolphins, Mark Ingram, RB Alabama

Why Ingram is Special: The former Heisman winner is ideally built for the running back position. He has a low center of gravity, runs tough, and is a threat to break a long run at any time.

Why Ingram Goes Here: Ingram is the only elite running back in this draft and is likely the only back that will go in the first round. He will go to the team that needs a running back more than anyone else.

Why Ingram Fits: The Dolphins have had some need at running back considering Ricky Williams' age and Ronnie Brown's struggles. Ingram would be a great addition to the Wildcat too, because he has run it at Alabama.

18. Indianapolis Colts, Gabe Carimi, OT Wisconsin

Why Carimi is Special: Gabe Carimi is another mountain of a person. At 6-foot-7, 327 pounds, he is an ideal left tackle. He also comes from Wisconsin, who has historically produced great linemen.

Why Carimi Goes Here: Carimi is a great offensive tackle on one of the best offensive lines in the country. He will go in the first round and could end up being the top tackle picked.

Why Carimi Fits: If the Colts take Carimi, he will not only quickly become Peyton Manning's best friend, but he will also extend Manning's career for a number of years. He also will help in the running game, and that has been the Colts' big problem this season.

16. St. Louis Rams, Janoris Jenkins, CB Florida

Why Jenkins is Special: Janoris Jenkins is the latest in a long line of good defensive backs to come out of Florida. He has the speed to be a shut down corner and the size to go up against bigger receivers.

Why Jenkins Goes Here: Jenkins has legitimate first round talent, but what the Rams really need is a wide receiver. If there is no receiver here, I expect the Rams to address the secondary.

Why Jenkins Fits: Jenkins would be a welcomed addition to the Rams' defensive backfield.

12. Houston Texans, Nick Fairley, DT Auburn

Why Fairley is Special: Fairley is an elite defensive tackle that is a good enough pass rusher to shift outside in a 3-4 scheme.

Why Fairley Goes Here: Fairley could go in the top 10 depending on how things shake out, but he could also drop depending on his work outs. He has had a breakout year, but that could scare people who are afraid he is a one season wonder.

Why Fairley Fits: Houston has the start of a dominant defensive line. Fairley would be a great piece for them that would help Mario Williams and Amobi Okoye.

10. San Francisco 49ers, Akeem Ayers, OLB UCLA

Why Ayers is Special: Watching Ayers for one game will make anyone open their eyes. He has great speed in pass coverage and pass rushing. He is also strong enough to put his hand on the ground and play defensive end.

Why Ayers Goes Here: Ayers is a freakish athlete and is undoubtedly the best outside linebacker in the draft. He could go as high as top five but I doubt he drops out of the top 10.

Why Ayers Fits: The 49ers adding an outside linebacker like Ayers would be a great addition to a talented defense.

7. Arizona Cardinals, Ryan Mallett, QB Arkansas

Why Mallett is Special: Ryan Mallett has a big arm and he can really sling the ball all over the field. He also seems to have the gunslinger mentality like Philip Rivers or Brett Favre.

Why Mallett Goes Here: Mallett is probably the second best quarterback in the draft and will be taken very high by a team that needs a signal caller.

Why Mallett Fits: If anyone saw Derek Anderson's press conference after Monday Night Football, it seems like Anderson's time is short in Arizona. Mallett is a better fit for Arizona and Larry Fitzgerald.

2. Cincinnati Bengals, Andrew Luck, QB Stanford

Why Luck is Special: Luck is the closest thing in college football to an NFL quarterback. He has turned Stanford into a BCS caliber team without a lot of talent.

Why Luck Goes Here: The only thing keeping Luck from being the top overall pick is the fact that the Panthers already drafted a quarterback last year.

Why Luck Fits: Carson Palmer's days as starting quarterback are over. The Bengals went from a being a playoff team to one of the worst teams in the NFL in one year and much of that is due to Palmer's turnovers.

1. Carolina Panthers, Da'Quan Bowers, DE Clemson

Why Bowers is Special: Not many college players can get 15.5 sacks in a career. Bowers has done that this year alone. He is the most complete defensive player in college this year.

Why Bowers Goes Here: Again, he is the most complete defensive player in college this year. He can have the impact of a Mario Williams for any team, but anyone picking in the top pick overall that needs defense would be smart to look at Bowers.

Why Bowers Fits: The only reason Bowers is picked by the Panthers instead of Andrew Luck is that the Panthers picked Jimmy Clausen. Yes it is a stupid move passing on Luck, but Bowers is a great addition to a terrible team.
